Comments Thread For: Jacobs: GGG Lining Up Scrubs; Derevyanchenko Tough Fight for Him

[Ake-Dawg]

And who have you fought since you lost to GGG? You can't live off 'going the distance' for the rest of your career, although know that was your proudest achievement

Danny has tried to get a rematch with GGG, a fight with Saunders, and even said when a contract shows up he would fight Charlo.

But none of that has any bearing on his opinion that GGG team looking for a soft touch.

yup its dumb..... funny i was reading an old wilder thread and the ones mad there arent mad at ggg

His fanbase does not demand greatness from him. They want everything 100% in his favor.

Wade: He had to fight him. It's a mandatory

Sergey: it's not fair to fight him on short notice even though he's a mandatory

Vanes: It's fair for Vanes to fight him on short notice even though he's been out for 2 years and isn't a middleweight.

With this Vanes fight I'm really wondering if there is a bottom for his fans. Like who would he have to choose for them to say no, that's a bad fight. Where do they draw the line? Chocolatito?

GGG is getting old now with 36 and he knows that there is only one big payday left for him against Canelo. So why does he want to risk that payday by fighting a younger,hungry & unbeaten opponent like Derevyanchenko ? I understand why GGG avoids Derevyanchenko.

Cause hes the "Boogey Man"

Jacobs is my guy but I cannot agree with him on this one. GGG is no spring chicken and at the age of 36 he should not be jumping into fights against young killers with only weeks notice. Gennady has earned his rightful spot on top of the DIV and if he takes a dangerous fight last min and happens to lose, we the fans will lose out on the mega rematch with Nelo. The next big fight GGG should be in needs to be vs Nelo and if not than he should take another dangerous opponent but with a proper camp and time to adequately prepare for the bout.

Jus my opinion, but i aint ****

I agree with you. Taking a high risk low reward fight now wouldn't be smart. I'd be just as happy if he bypasses Canelo and goes with Saunders I'm sick of Canelo.

[TheBigLug]

The way people talk, you would think GGG was the one that pulled out of the Canelo fight.

Nah people need to stop that sht, Jacobs stopped 3 (current, former,future) world champions class fighters in a row in Quillin, Mora and Truax before the GGG fight.

Jacobs is the more proven MW after GGG.


Hard to disagree with anything Jacobs except GGG only fighting scrubs.

I mean he fought Jacobs, Nelo in his last 2 fights and was supposed to rematch Nelo next.

At this point I wouldn't blame GGG fighting a tune up bum.

Brook, Wade and Lemieux to round out his last 5.

and as much as people **** on Lemieux on this site, he's still top a top 10 MW.

[Shadoww702]

He has a fight scheduled for April 21st



Jacobs gets the blame for Loeffler delaying the fight?

Um isn't the guy Jacob's is fighting next ranked higher than Spike, that S. WW, and Vanes the 3 guys GGG is trying to fight???

[PsychoPat]

So arias and sulecki aren't scrubs?

yea pretty much this

[Bad_Guy]

Jacobs should fight Charlo if he's a real one. He wrote the book on fighting scrubs while being the champion of nothing.
